## 348 / Go. Sa. Jivakanda
Although the living being becomes a Shrapagatvedi from the beginning of the Avedbhaga of Nivrittikaran, there is no Trivksha here, but only the Vivksha of the Kevali. Because the infinite, excellent, self-generated happiness is only possible for the Kevali. In the Chhadmastha state, the destruction of the nature of knowledge and perception makes infinite and excellent happiness naturally impossible, but the suffering in the form of the destruction of nature exists.

**Number of living beings in Vedamata**
**Gathaarth:** The Vyantaras are less in number than the Jyotish Devas. The Tiryanchas are less in number than them. The Purushavedi Tiryanchas are less in number than them. The Sanjee Panchaindriya Tiryanchas are less in number than them. The Sanjee Panchaindriya Tejoleshya living beings are less in number than them. The Sanshi Panchaindriya Padmaleshma living beings are less in number than them. || 277 ||
**Kamearde || 277 ||**
**Vishesharth:** The Panchaindriya Tiryancha Yonin living beings are numerous than the Bhavanvasi Devis. The Vanvyantar Devas are numerous than the Panchaindriya Tiryancha Yonin. The Devis are numerous than the Devas. The Jyotish Devas are numerous than the Vanvyantar Devis. And the Devis are numerous than the Devas. This is known from the Sutra of Khudda Bandha. The Devis are numerous in the number of Devas, and the Tiryancha Yonin living beings are a fraction of the number of Devis.

**Igipurise Basisan Devi Tajjogbhajidevodhe. Saggalugarene Gunne Purusha Mahila Ya Devesu || 278 ||**
**Gathaarth:** There are thirty-two Devis for one Deva. By dividing the Devaghosh amount by their sum and multiplying by their own multiplier, the number of Devas and Devis is obtained. || 278 ||
**Vishesharth:** If there is one Deva, then there are thirty-two Devis. In this way, by adding one and thirty-two (1 + 32), and dividing the Deva amount by thirty-three, one Khandam is the number of Devas. By subtracting this one Khandam from the Deva Progh amount, the number of Devis is obtained.
"It is also seen that the Devis are thirty-two times more than the Devas."
"The Devis are thirty-two times more than the Devas," this is known from the teachings received from the Acharya Parampara.
